Hi again,

Thanks to all who replied to my question. The aliases are not necessary
for
local users to receive mail - mail stopped bouncing after a few
modifications
to sendmail.cf.

The correct way to test if an email address is correct, is to use the
vrfy
command first, then expn : expn expands/explains the email ( if there
have been
aliases defined, otherwise you get "is not an alias" !) The latter is
definitely not a
problem, only a polite bit of information ...

Thanks again,
